Do they institute a salary cap?
It's in the article, yes

Pretty much. We'll get annual salary caps and I'll bet an opt-in draft in five years.

Yes but with little input from the schools.
There will be another round of negotiations. If someone wants to play Jerry Jones or George Steinbrenner they will.
Just have to pay the luxury tax.

Notice how no NFL team has gone rogue and said "we'll spend what we want"
That's how modern sports work. If you reject the terms you'll be the XFL of college football. Players won't want to play and you'll be relegated to Thursday night games.
You'll play ball like every other team. Don't delude yourself.

Can college football get any worse. I’m going to have to find a new hobby.

Yes, but a contract means we don't have players leaving every year.
I hope you're right but I don't see how this solves the yearly bidding war for transfers. I doubt most players would sign a contract that requires paying back earnings if they end up transferring next year to a school who pays them more.
And if they do, we'll just see schools paying the "buyout" anyway.

As bad as this looks it's still better than the current state of things. College football is a trainwreck right now.

1 year contact - $1M, 2-year contract $5m
You'll be seeing this a lot.

You have to wonder how this will play out long term. After all, college athletes are the very definition of amateurs. But now they are paid professionals.
So why do they still have to be students then? It seems silly. Imagine the QB making $2 million a year has to worry about going to class or taking a test.
It is ridiculous.
And also the play itself is subpar compared to the NFL yet they are being paid NFL- like salaries.
At what point do fans lose interest? It seems like they may lose the emotional connection to the school and no longer support this racket.

Will be better than NIL bullshite.

How quick do schools start dropping non-revenue sports.
First $22 mil of every AD budget to pay players in one maybe two sports

How will this balance out with Title IX requirements? if a school gives millions of dollars in salary to football players, do they not then have to do the same with women athletes?

The NFL seems to have figured this out.

Um… the same way you do in professional and minor league sports? This isn’t a new concept dawg

Bingo. It's not going to happen overnight, but "college" sports are done. In the future the University of Alabama will just pay a sponsorship fee to attach their name and logos to a professional minor league team.
I have loved college football my whole life, but the NFL is sadly looking better and better after the past 3 years. I'm glad I got to see the college game in its heyday.

They won't be. You'll see this fairly soon. The colleges won't want to deal with Title IX implications.

Schools will license the branding to a private entity and that same entity will lease on campus facilities for games.
This is the future.

Will you continue to attend if this is how things are arranged?
